either you accept it or you don't

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2005)

From the director of Bad Boys and Armageddon comes this futuristic thriller that explores the notion of human cloning. McGregor plays a man who lives in a controlled environment where human contact is prohibited, true emotions don't exist, and everyone dreams of winning a vacation to a mysterious island with no questions asked. When he finally does question his seemingly futile existence and the work of its shady doctor (Bean), he finds out more then he ever imagined endangering his own life and also that of his closest friend (Johansson). Has a bit more substance than previous Bay efforts, and a plot that actually holds your interest, but relies predominantly on action scenes for effect and lacks a really solid finale. You'll either buy into it and go along for the ride, or just be left feeling nothing at all. The cast is good though and gives it their best. **½
